Sittin' on your windowsill
5th Avenue is doing well
But the sky's about to break, it seems
Listenin' to the radio
A little AM hip-hop show
That you're only supposed to get in Queens
Smell of sweet grass burnin' up
Ice water sweatin' in a cup

But you said, that Heaven is only a feeling
And you said, that lovin' is a lonely demon
So then, life should have a different meanin'
I'll get by, I'll get by, I'll get by

King James and Rastafari
Us and them, and I and I
Maybe these things are really the same
Because one again the holiday
Lies in peacefulness and honesty
But people just call them by different names
How can it be anything but good
To pull your fears up by the hood

But you said, that Heaven is only a feeling
And you said, that lovin' is a lonely demon
So then, life should have a different meanin'
I'll get by, I'll get by, I'll get by
